RICHARDS information from cousin Margie.  Added to website 4/22/99 by Kathie Austin
kathie.austin@ncmail.net
---------- Original Email from Margie on the PACLEAF-L list: Is anyone researching Mortimore Francis or Francis Mortimore WAPLE who lived in Clearfield Co. around Houtzdale/Osceola Mills, was a miner, married Mary RICHARDS, and died in an accident in 1894? He left two or three children, including my grandmother Elva Waple. Is there such a thing as a county or city directory around that time? Would also be interested in info about his wife. I think she married a Charles EVANS in 1903 and died March, 1917. Am seeking cousins. Margie Pollock Waple margiebr@aol.com
From an April 15, 1999 email:

Dear Cousin,
I found my file of Richards and checked it against the one you have. I am
also descended from John W. Richards & Catharine McMullen>George Richards and
Tamer Boal>James B. Richards and Susanna Dixon. After that we are from the
Hardman Richards & Caroline Hoover line. Mary Richards was their daughter,
married Francis Mortimer (also called Martin) Waple.
...children of Hardman:
        1. David, b. 1851
        2. Martha, b. 1855
        3. Charles, b. 1857
        4. Tamer, b. 1859
        5. Mary, b. 1861
        6. Annie, b. 1864
        7. Ella, b. 1868

I have some of their death dates and husbands and children if you need more.
I also lack information about some of them. And I would like personal stories
besides the basic facts. Has anyone given you descriptions of them,
personalities, occupations, what they died of, any traits that run in the
family, war veterans? (CAN ANYONE PROVIDE SUCH INFORMATION?)

My grandmother Elva Waple was born in Chester Hill. Do you know what county
that is in? Would like to try to get a birth certificate. She had a brother
George who died in childhood and a brother Charles, 3/25/1880-9/11/1967. Elva
was b. 10/25/1882 and d. 2/18/1960. Her first husband was Anson Samuel
Pollock, b. 2/12/1885 at Antrim, PA, d. 11/9/1918 of the flu, leaving her
with 3 small children. She married again to Charles McClellan Waple Sr., her
first cousin on 8/11/1925, he was born 1862 and died in 1933. I don't know
what you can use. Let me know which gaps you want to fill. Thanks for calling
attention to your web site.

Then, April 18, 1999 via email:

Dear Kathie, Here is the list I inherited from my aunt and her cousin. A
scanned it and took out the more recently born people's dates, except for
those who I know are dead.  Until I check it against their proof, can't
guarantee it--but it will give people a direction to search. I wish they had
put town or county names in there. Where it has them, I added them in from my
own notes. (My family tree style is to put everything I know about a person
or family right there beside the basic info.)

If you see something definitely wrong or suspected in error, let me know.  In
the meantime, I will be adding in the additional and new information that you
gave me via the website.  Thanks, Margie

Her information is as follows ----
